Thanks, I'll remember that.
I'm ordering my bike from bullet bikes tommorow. I decided to go with them because its close for services and my warranty will be with them. Also I get 10% off everything there after I buy the bike, which sounds like a good deal to me. Thanks everyone for your help! Ill post pics when i get it

Dude, you get 10% discount from anyone if you haggle, your warranty is nation wide at any Yamaha dealer.... ring Chris watson MC in cessnock and get a price from him (talk to chris himself).
If you can save a couple of grand youd be better off... |

Exactly.
Mate, don't get ripped off this easy. Do some finger work on your PC & phone, your bound to get a better deal than that.

Bought my bike off him, no one could touch him on price... i did HEAPS of research and ringing around before i bought my raptor, just ask bigjon 
A few mates bought banshee's a while ago (from another dealer), brand new $7000 i think they paid. |

The best chris could offer me was $8500 and a couple hundred dollars on top of that for shipping. So I wouldnt be saving much. I decided to go with bullet bikes and I ordered my bike today should be here within the next week or so woot!

Bought a quad on finance which he could not afford,had to sell later at a loss.Check his posts> http://www.ozatv.com/forum/search.php?search_id=627494765&start=200 --Prob why the bloke on ebay was selling a 4wk old bike.

Income insurance keeps a wage coming in,but there are lots of catches depending on the premium you pay.About $600+/yr depending conditions/amount you want covered.--Medicare DOESNOT pay for ambulance rides.What if you need a helicopter ride from the far end of 'Kicatinalong' or even just a meat wagon ride for 1/2 a km,minimum fee is about $500???. -Cover costs me about $30/yr from HCF.--'Loan insurance' usually only covers THE BANK if they cant get the $s out of you some other way.

I don't need income insurance expecially at $600 a year. As for the ambulance cover ill look into getting that. $30 a year is nothing

AT a minium every person who ride 4 or 2 wheelers needs ambulance cover, unless your racing and MA will cover you for a long time if your hurt badly. I would imagine MA will cover your income till your back on your feet. But trail riders your on your own, but it dosent stop those who do it. Abulance cover in Vic for a single is about 100 bucks or if your in the AWU you get free cover...

Any news of the purchase? You can go wrong with a Yammha!!
I personally would have gone the 4-stroke route ... but personal preference and budget in mine, you made a good choice.
Rode a Shee of a mate of mine here a few months back ... you cant beat that power curve!! Found myself changing early, just to feel the kick!!
You do need to change gears a lot more on a 2-smoke (that we call them here ) than a 4-stroke, just to stay in the power band ... But you will get used to it!!
